The process of melting is what type of process? Choose the correct process and explanation.

A. Exothermic process- particles of a solid decrease in energy and slow down. The particles slow down because they are absorbing energy from the surroundings.

B. Exothermic process - particles of a solid increase in energy and begin to move more. The particles are increasing in energy because they are absorbing energy from the surroundings.

C. Endothermic process - particles of a solid decrease in energy and slow down. The particles slow down because they are absorbing energy from the surroundings.

D. Endothermic process - particles of a solid increase in energy and begin to move more. The particles are increasing in energy because they are absorbing energy from the surroundings.
